Drake and his OVO cohort PartyNextDoor announced that they will release collaborative album later this year. The duo revealed the upcoming LP during PartyNextDoor’s concert Friday in their native Toronto, where Drake appeared onstage as a surprise guest.

“On behalf of me and Party, we’ve been working on something for y’all,” Drake told the crowd. “So, you get the summer over with, do what you need to do. I know all you girls are outside. When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you.”

While it was PartyNextDoor’s concert, the crowd was treated to a nearly hour-long surprise set by Drake, who according to Billboard focused on the R&B-leaning tracks in his catalog, including performing the live debut of his Plain White T’s-interpolating “Wah Gwan Delilah“:

The first signee to Drake’s OVO Sound label, PartyNextDoor has frequently collaborated with the rapper over the past decade, including on hits like “Come and See Me” and “Loyal,” plus Drake album cuts like “Wednesday Night Interlude,” “Members Only,” and “With You.” The upcoming LP however marks the first time the two artists have worked on an entire album together.

PartyNextDoor released his latest LP PartyNextDoor 4 in April. Outside of Drake’s season of diss tracks and Camila Cabello guest spots, the rapper last released his For All the Dogs in 2023. Prior to that, Drake teamed with 21 Savage for their collaborative LP Her Loss in 2022.
